The stand was loud before the sixth over. Vendors ran out of the cheap bottles first. A late six settled an argument that had lasted a fortnight in tea shops.

Domestic cricket does not trend until a final looks like this: families, flags that were printed this morning, and a bowler who still works a weekday job.

Officials spoke of better seating next season. Players spoke of a pitch that kept its word. The crowd spoke by staying after the last ball, which is the only review that matters.
